Nice new rule. I like how he also mentions the use of information real estate, BTW you can ease in an idea even if you have tons of text on screen, no reason to withhold extra [important] information:
"The website looks dated True, but consistent with the spirit of the contest, simplicity trumps complexity. I also disapprove of modern webpages, where sometimes only a couple of words fit on a FullHD screen, because the screen estate has been wasted with irrelevant graphics, gigantic font size, and worst of all, empty space. Generally I prefer function over form, information over design, content over marketing, relevance over art, and this site is (hopefully) functional and informative with a lot of relevant content. Fashion comes and goes, but like ASCII, HTML will be around forever. Modern website building tools offer a lot of (irrelevant) functionality, but they rely on sophisticated back-ends and protocols, and typically are around for a decade or two, and then something breaks or one has to switch to a new tool. I neither have time nor patience nor sympathy for that. Finally, I actually like the nostalgic look of good old html websites." ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tef43964b9365fffb-Mcb2b9e9b01f3ee4cf17a326b Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
